Small, flat, square, embroidered envelope-style bag, detailed with mirrors and pompoms, made by folding and stitching together three corners of a flat, square panel to form a pocket, with the fourth corner left open to serve as a flap or cover. The square-shaped embroidered motifs, formed from bars of satin stitch outlined in black, are grouped together into larger squares that are arranged in a grid, separated with narrow bands of alternating mirror-work and floral designs that form an X on the back of the bag. The square is bordered with mirror-work, alternating with floral designs. The embroidery is so dense that it completely covers the background textile. There are glass beads sewn onto the seams, which are worked in fine interlacing stitch. Small pompoms and glass beads are stitched to the lower corners. At the intersection of the three corners is a small white button, embellished with small coloured glass beads. The embroidery is underlined with red cotton textile that is printed with multicoloured designs.

A rectangular panel of embroidered cotton textile hangs loosely to the shoulders at the sides and back. Mirrors, alternating with blocks of interlacing stitch, form a border around the edges of this panel; a square multicoloured medallion and two multicoloured circular medallions are embroidered at the centre back. The crown is embroidered with floral motifs worked in silk floss, and there is a short fringe of green, white and blue glass beads at the forehead. Two short strands of twisted fibre are attached at the front edge, over the temples. The hood is lined with dark yellow and red cotton textile, and the edges of the hood are bound with dark yellow and green cotton bias tape.
